Chapter 1103: Chapter 439: Zhou Tian’s Assistance

Having managed to injure that NPC demigod once, Zhou Tian was confident he could do so a second and third time, provided there were no accidents. Given the current comparison of strength between them, although Zhou Tian was still at a disadvantage, if he focused solely on attacking that NPC demigod, the demigod would definitely not be able to escape his strikes.

Zhou Tian was aware of his advantages and disadvantages, and similarly, those NPC demigods were also aware of the threat that Zhou Tian and his subordinate Centaurs posed to them. It wasn’t just the NPC demigod who had already suffered several attacks from Zhou Tian, but even the other NPC demigods were somewhat affected by that time.

After all, those NPC demigods cared quite a bit about their own safety, and if it wasn’t necessary, none would seek out their own demise. Clearly, even if Zhou Tian was not their match, if he was determined to drag someone with him to Hell, he definitely had the ability to do so.

Such a situation was very unlikely to occur, considering those NPC demigods didn’t want to die, and logically speaking, based on Zhou Tian’s situation, he also shouldn’t have been foolhardy. Therefore, as long as Zhou Tian didn’t act recklessly, with his strength he couldn’t pose any threat to those NPC demigods.

However, judging from Zhou Tian’s previous actions of tirelessly assaulting that NPC demigod once he caught him, those NPC demigods were aware that if Zhou Tian maintained that style of conduct, although he might lose his life in the heat of combat, their side would also likely suffer casualties.

Thus, because none of those NPC demigods wanted to die, they naturally avoided Zhou Tian as much as possible when facing him, abandoning their intention to defeat him decisively.

Moreover, although combat fundamentally relies on strength, the will to fight is also indispensable. If a powerful individual loses their will, no matter how strong they are, they certainly will not win when facing their opponent.

In terms of strength, those NPC demigods were incredibly powerful. If Zhou Tian were to fight them, he would almost certainly stand no chance. However, because those demigods had no intention of clashing head-on with Zhou Tian, this instantly gave Zhou Tian a slight advantage at that time.

Nevertheless, although Zhou Tian momentarily had the upper hand due to the NPC demigods’ cowardice, as time passed, the situation gradually began to change.

For a while, with those NPC demigods not wanting to engage in a desperate fight with Zhou Tian, they naturally avoided him at every turn. Under such circumstances, Zhou Tian temporarily handling the NPC demigods’ attacks wasn’t a problem. But now, the problem was, as time passed, those NPC demigods would not be able to maintain that state forever, and with the shift in their mindset, the slight advantage Zhou Tian had was quickly lost.

There was nothing surprising about this, as Zhou Tian’s strength had not changed; he had always been weaker than his opponents. The only reason he had gained some advantage was merely because those NPC demigods had chosen to avoid battle.

Even though those NPC demigods were avoiding combat, they couldn’t forget their purpose for coming here. So, for a short while facing Zhou Tian’s threat, those NPC demigods wouldn’t engage him directly. However, as more time passed, recalling their original purpose, those NPC demigods naturally became reluctant to leave without accomplishing their goal. Under such circumstances, it’s not surprising that things began to change.

In the end, it still came down to Zhou Tian being too weak. If Zhou Tian’s strength had been comparable to those NPC demigods, seeing Zhou Tian determined to fight them to the death, those NPC demigods, who didn’t want to die, would have probably been scared off, and the series of events that followed would not have happened.

But since Zhou Tian’s strength was limited, he naturally couldn’t scare away those NPC demigods at that time. Thus, once those NPC demigods became accustomed to Zhou Tian’s desperate performance, they completely ceased to see him as a threat.

With the disparity in strength evident, even if Zhou Tian fought desperately, he could only potentially threaten those NPC demigods. And "potentially" was merely a possibility, not a certainty, which made the gap clear—Zhou Tian’s threat to those NPC demigods wasn’t as significant as imagined.

Initially frightened away by Zhou Tian, once they realized that Zhou Tian genuinely posed no threat to their abilities, those NPC demigods naturally stopped considering him a threat at all. freewebnσvel.cѳm

After all, those NPC demigods had come with a purpose and couldn’t let an invading monster like Zhou Tian drive them away; also, they would be too ashamed to return otherwise. Thus, to achieve their goal, those NPC demigods, though not quite ready to fight to the death, definitely would not easily waver in their resolve.

As a result, once those NPC demigods came to their senses, they naturally began their counterattack against Zhou Tian at that time. ƒrēewebnovel.com

A portion of the NPC demigods faced off against the shooting from the Centaurs below, while the rest surrounded Zhou Tian, clearly planning to use their numerical advantage to repel this formidable enemy.
